In the 1990's, a group of friends with a passion for good wine and fun times together crushed a few tons of grapes in the Napa Valley for our personal cellars. The resulting wine was so well-received that we started producing wine the very next year to share with the public. We chose to name the wine, appropriately, Amici ("friends" in Italian).

Amici's owners John Harris, Bob and Celia Shepard, Sharon Kazan Harris, Bart Woytowicz and Joel Aiken are all great friends with a passion for making and enjoying great wine. At Amici we focus on quality, not quantity. Because we insist on keeping our production small, we can carefully control the process of creating each wine, crafting what we like to consider a small work of art in each bottle.
